Hi Lydia,

Before installing the McAfee kindly check if you have any other security application is installed

Use the below mentioned tool to do that ,

Hi lydia,

To get rid of the pop ups from your browser first you have to remove the unwanted extensions from all the browsers.

Then use the tool JRT and remove the infections from your browser

Download JRT from the below link :-

Install Adblockplus for all your browsers from -

Once you have cleared the pop ups you are free to install McAfee antivirus .
